Some four years ago doctors told me that 1 bad Bright’s Disease. 1 was laid up three month’s and nothing I used helped me and no food would stay on my stomaoh. I used one bottle of your |Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin and food would stay on my stomach and I craved something to eat. I got well. There was no Bright’s Disease about me. It was a “false rumor.” Ever since I have recommended Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin to friends and strangers. It is just splendid. I have full confidence in it. Geo. F.

A majority of the men on the eight training ships now in commission came from the middle west. It is said that some of the best seamen come from the country. One year’s training on water takes all the land kinks out of them. Michigan City wants it. This morning the temperature was 9 above That was the coldest of the month, so far, the lowest heretofore being on the morning of the 3rd, when it was 10 above. The cold spell now seemingly at an end, was severe more from the high wind than actually low temperature. There has been no rain or snow so far this month, and no wholly oloudy days. Ten days including today have been wholly clear, and the other three days were only partly cloudy. There has been no- day so far during which sun has not shone at least part of the time. D. M. Worland returned Saturday evening from making the rounds of his penny-in-the-slot salted peanut machines, having harvested during the trip a pretty good hand-satchel full of ripe pennies. He also, during this trip, altered a number of defective machines, whereby he put an end to a great snap certain boys had enjoyed, at divers places along the line. Some of these machines, if the handle was held just right, and gently but skillfully vibrated, would give down the last salty goober in their globes, regardless of the absence of the beguiling influence of the pennies. Dave found what attentions were needed to stop this leak, and applied them whenever needed. He also headed off the iron-washer industry by putting strong magnets in the machines, so that they will reject the washers and accept the cents.
